XC15 Outdoor Unit
The XC15 Air Conditioners, which will also be referred to in
this instruction as the outdoor unit, uses HFC−410A
refrigerant. This outdoor unit must be installed with a
matching indoor unit and line set as outlined in the LennoxXC15Engineering Handbook.
This outdoor unit is designed for use in systems that use
thermal expansion valve (TXV) refrigerant metering
devices.
General Information
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
who have jurisdiction before installation.
When servicing or repairing HVAC components, ensure
caps and fasteners are appropriately tightened. Table 1
lists torque values for typical service and repair items.
Table 1. Torque Requirements
PartRecommended Torque
Service valve cap8 ft.− lb.11 NM
Sheet metal screws16 in.− lb.2 NM
Machine screws #1028 in.− lb.3 NM
Compressor bolts90 in.− lb.10 NM
Gauge port seal cap8 ft.− lb.11 NM
USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SETS
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low−loss anti−blow back fittings.
See figure 4 for a typical manifold gauge connection setup.
Manifold gauge sets used with HFC−410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling the higher system
operating pressures. The gauges should be rated for use
with pressures of 0 − 800 on the high side and a low side of
30" vacuum to 250 psi with dampened speed to 500 psi.
Gauge hoses must be rated for use at up to 800 psi of
pressure with a 4000 psi burst rating.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and suction line service valves are used for
removing refrigerant, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
checking charge and charging.
Each service valve is equipped with a service port which
has a factory−installed valve stem.
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufficient hardness
(50Rc − Rockwell Harness Scale minimum). Fully
insert the wrench into the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory−torqued (from 9
ft−lbs for small valves, to 25 ft−lbs for large valves) to
prevent refrigerant loss during shipping and
handling. Using an Allen wrench rated at less than
50Rc risks rounding or breaking off the wrench, or
stripping the valve stem recess.

Recovering Refrigerant from Existing
System
Remove existing HCFC−22 refrigerant using one of the
following methods:
METHOD 1:
Use this method if the existing outdoor unit is not equipped
with manual shut−off valves, and plan on using existing
HCFC−22 refrigerant to flush the system.
NOTE − Use recovery machine instructions for specific
setup requirements.
Perform the following task:
1. Disconnect all power to the existing outdoor unit.
2. Connect to the existing unit a gauge set, clean
recovery cylinder and a recovery machine. Use the
instructions provided with the recover machine on how
to setup the connections.
3. Remove all HCFC−22 refrigerant from the existing
system. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that
the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.
RECOVERY MACHINE
MANIFOLD GAUGES
allowed to go into a vacuum. Prolonged operation at
low suction pressures will result in overheating of the
scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll tips, drive
bearings and internal seals).
Once the compressor can not pump down to a lower
pressure due to one of the above system conditions, shut
off the suction valve. Turn OFF the main power to unit and
use a recovery machine to recover any refrigerant left in
the indoor coil and line set.
Perform the following task:
1. Start the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling
mode and close the liquid line valve.
2. Pump as much of the existing HCFC−22 refrigerant
with the compressor back into the outdoor unit until
you have reached the limitations of the outdoor
system. Turn the outdoor unit main power OFF and
use a recovery machine to remove the remaining
refrigerant in the system.
NOTE − It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure
switches if equipped to ensure complete refrigerant
evacuation.
3. When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig,
close the suction line valve.
4. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the
valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the
low side of the system.

METHOD 2:
Use this method if the existing outdoor unit is equipped
with manual shut−off valves, and plan on using new
HCFC−22 refrigerant to flush the system.
IMPORTANT: Some system configurations may contain
higher than normal refrigerant charge due to either large
internal coil volumes, and/or long line sets. The following
conditions may cause the compressor to stop functioning:
The following devices could prevent full system charge
recovery into the outdoor unit:
SOutdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if
applicable) when tripped can cycled the compressor
OFF.
SCompressor can stop pumping due to tripped internal
pressure relief valve.
SCompressor has internal vacuum protection that is
designed to unload the scrolls (compressor stops
pumping) when the pressure ratio meets a certain
value or when the suction pressure is as high as 20
psig. (Compressor suction pressures should never be

Figure 9. Outside Unit Placement
SSome localities are adopting sound ordinances based
on the unit’s sound level registered from the adjacent
property, not from the installation property. Install the
unit as far as possible from the property line.
SWhen possible, do not install the unit directly outside
a window. Glass has a very high level of sound
transmission. For proper placement of unit in relation
to a window see the provided illustration in figure 9.
PLACING OUTDOOR UNIT ON SLAB
When installing unit at grade level, the top of the slab
should be high enough above grade so that water from
higher ground will not collect around the unit. The slab
should have a slope tolerance as described in figure 10.
NOTE − Install unit level or, if on a slope, maintain slope
tolerance of 2 degrees (or 2 inches per 5 feet [50 mm per
1.5 m]) away from building structure.
ELEVATING THE UNIT
Unlike the small−base units which use round support feet,
the larger−base units are outfitted with elongated support
feet as illustrated in figure 11 which uses a similar method
for elevating the unit.
If additional elevation is necessary, raise the unit by
extending the length of the unit support feet. This may be
achieved by using a 2" SCH 40 female threaded adapter.
The specified coupling will fit snuggly into the recessed
portion of the feet. Use additional 2" SCH 40 male threaded
adaptors which can be threaded into the female threaded
adaptors to make additional adjustments to the level of the
unit.

Unit Stabilizer Bracket Use (field−provided):
Always use stabilizers when unit is raised above the
factory height. (Elevated units could become
unstable in gusty wind conditions).
Stabilizers may be used on factory height units
when mounted on unstable an uneven surface.
ROOF MOUNTING
Install unit at a minimum of four inches above the surface
of the roof. Care must be taken to ensure weight of unit is
properly distributed over roof joists and rafters. Either
redwood or steel supports are recommended.
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels,
unit or structure, be sure to observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow
all removed panels out of the way, so that the panels
will not cause injury to personnel, nor cause
damage to objects or structures nearby, nor will the
panels be subjected to damage (e.g., being bent or
scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any
weather conditions, especially windy conditions,
that may cause panels to be blown around and
battered.
INSTALLING ISOLATION GROMMETS
Locate the isolation grommets (provided). Slide grommets
onto suction and liquid lines. Insert grommets into mullion
to isolate refrigerant lines from sheet metal edges.

New or Replacement Line Set
This section provides information on installation or
replacement of existing line set. If line set are not being
installed then proceed to Brazing Connections on page 9.
If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, seal and
isolate the opening so vibration is not transmitted to the
building. Pay close attention to line set isolation during
installation of any HVAC system. When properly isolated
from building structures (walls, ceilings. floors), the
refrigerant lines will not create unnecessary vibration and
subsequent sounds.
REFRIGERANT LINE SET
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction lines
from the outdoor unit (braze connections) to the indoor unit
coil (flare or sweat connections). Use Lennox L15 (sweat,
non−flare) series line set, or use field−fabricated refrigerant
lines as listed in table 2.

AND LINE SET
IMPORTANT
Matching XC15 with a New Indoor Coil and Line
SetIf installing a new indoor coil and reusing the
existing line set that included a RFCI liquid line
(small bore liquid line used as a metering device)
then you must change to a standard size liquid line.
NOTE − When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50
feet, see the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and
Fabrication Guidelines, or contact Lennox Technical
Support Product Applications for assistance. To obtain the
correct information from Lennox, be sure to communicate
the following points:
SModel (XC15) and size of unit (e.g. −060).
Install the louvered panels as follows:
1. Position the panel almost parallel with the unit as
illustrated in figure 15, detail D with the screw side as
close to the unit as possible.
